Mother Teresa, the Albanian-born nun who dedicated her life to working with the poor in India, was named a saint on Sunday by Pope Francis. According to the Los Angeles Times, a crowd of 120,000 gathered in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City to celebrate the canonization of Saint Teresa of Kolkata, as she will now be known. Pope Francis lauded the Nobel Peace Prize winner as "a generous dispenser of divine mercy" in his homily. "She bowed down before those who were spent, left to die on the side of the road, seeing in them their God-given dignity. She made her voice heard before the powers of this world, so that they might recognize their guilt for the crime of poverty they created," he said in Latin.

My grandparents had a picture of her above their staircase. I was walking by it one day and said the same thing. Next thing I know I lose my balance and trip down the stairs.

Isn't she accused of never actually helping people? I've heard people claimed she (and her ministry) basically kept people in their living condition in order for her to keep her appearance in helping them.

How distraught can your interior life be to post such a comment on a public forum about one of the most holiest person to walk this earth?

There are 270 million poor in India. That's about 22 % of their population. She didn't need to keep anyone impoverished. The woman did godly works and was a decent, caring person.
